Planning, architecture and implementation of

Question

Is Planning, architecture and implementation of correct English if I want to express that I did

Normally one would not say "I did the planning of the architecture", but simply say "I did the architecture", unless you mean to imply that you only, eg, laid out the schedule for someone else to do the architecture. — Hot Licks, Commented Apr 5, 2015 at 12:39
What does planning mean in this context? And architecture? And implementation? — Drew, Commented Apr 5, 2015 at 16:35

Is this sentence correct English if I want to express that I did ...

[thus not comma before "that"; that's quite rare]

Possible versions:

I did the planning — including the planning of the architecture — as well as the implementation of something.

As to why not use "implementing"?

Because not all ing-forms are equally accepted for names of activities.

Search for

"participated in the planning"

and

"participated in the implementing"

(quote marks are required) at Google Books, and come back after that:-)

or:

I performed the general planning, the planning of the architecture, and the implementation of something.

Thank you. My question here is: Why do you use "implementation" here and not "implementing" to be consistent with "planning"?
